Fics! Recs! Yeah!

FIC: Bearded Lady

Pairing: Harry/DracoRating: NC-17Summary: [This story is the sequel to A Balancing Act, and should not be read as a stand-alone!] Harry has a choice to make before his 17th birthday -- does he want to be male or female? Not as easy as it sounds for someone who’s appeared to be a boy but actually has had the bits of a girl his whole life. Meanwhile, Draco’s choices with Voldemort will decide his fate, as well as the fate of his father. (words: 21k)Super thanks to: capitu! You were so, so helpful with the pointing out of things that didn't quite work in this story, as well as the things that did; while also being wise with my questions and patient and enthusiastic. You're a dream, thank you. Also, thank you to lamerezouille for the prompt and kind French advice!

A Balancing Act synopsis:

In fifth year, Draco’s father was imprisoned and his mother was murdered by Death Eaters. He retreats to neutrality to protect himself, and one lonely night he stumbles upon Harry Potter. Naked. And masturbating. That’s not the strange part. The strange part is Harry has a vagina. Draco blackmails Harry into doing ludicrous, embarrassing things, but it doesn’t take long for Draco to admit what he really wants–Harry himself. They start a sexual relationship, and eventually find out the reason Harry has a vagina is that Dumbledore spelled him that way as a baby in an attempt to hide the “male prophecy baby” from Voldemort. Obviously, the plan went awry, and now Harry has until his 17th birthday to decide if he wants to become a boy or a girl. Draco, meanwhile, defies his recently escaped-from-Azkaban father out of fear, remains in the care of Dumbledore, and, by extension, with Harry Potter, who may just be starting to adore.

Loved it!!! I can't wait for the final installment. I was really grinning stupidly when Hermione was about to become 'more of a sister' to Harry... and then at the end.. Wahhhhhh!!!!! Rip my heart out, twist it, and eat it why don't you? Draco! You little bastard!

I have to see how this works out.. if this works out. If it doesn't I may cry, but I promise I'll still love you.

But my heart is so broken. HOW and I going to make it till the next installment? I get so emotionally invested in these things. LOL

Draco broke my heart. Mangled it really. I just want to hug Harry. And I felt SO BAD for him when his body changed against his will, yet, I think it's what he would have chosen if we weren't considering only what Draco wanted. :-/

Draco *freaked out* I want to hit him and hug him at the same time.

Also you gave me so many feels. They're so sweet and brilliant and perfect together. Any time I read you fics I'm always like YES, this is why I ship H/D. God.

I'm going to find coping mechanisms until you post the next installments. :P

The Draco thing -- he did kind of freak out in his way, didn't he? That hurt to write. Just a little! I do often feel the need to make him slightly villainous (read: self-absorbed asshole) because it feels so Draco-y to me.
